Hunting rifles and virtual systems: innovations in military training

The modern combat training system for conscripts places special emphasis on a comprehensive approach to training. Service members master both traditional weapons and innovative technical equipment.
In addition, the training program for conscripts now includes training in shooting with 12-gauge hunting rifles. Hunting rifles are considered weapon last line of defense against attacks drones.

Training begins with learning how to assemble and disassemble a rifle, then moves on to shooting. First, soldiers shoot at stationary targets, then at clay pigeons. As part of their marksmanship training, each soldier fires at least 100 rounds daily. Conscripts are trained by instructors with combat experience.



In the training of conscripts, a combat reality simulation system (CRS) is used to simulate real combat operations, a smart target complex "Blik" with a digital hit control system, a sniper complex "Svetlyachok" for night training and an electronic alignment device EPV-125 for tanksProfessional areas of specialized training include: training of UAV operators, snipers, tank crews, anti-tank crews, and tactical medical specialists.

Modern military training emphasizes unit coordination, actively incorporating lessons learned from actual combat. Combat training is constantly being refined, incorporating best practices and adapting to modern conditions. Particular attention is paid to unit coordination and the integration of each soldier's skills into the overall unit's operations. Training is conducted using both simple simulators and the latest virtual training systems.

    A useful initiative in today's circumstances. Even for those who used a shotgun before, the insert in the armor is quite different from what you're used to without one. The shoulder pads and buckles prevent shooting from a classic sideways stance with a firm shoulder rest. And a 12-gauge, especially a magnum, kicks noticeably. It takes a long time to get used to it.

      This is all a lie. In army units, officers and NCOs are often recruited for the air defense. There's no double enlistment, although it's mandatory in this case, not to mention the understaffing. The remaining conscripts are trained by the half-morons who aren't even accepted into the air defense. They have no idea how to use UAVs or the specifics of combat operations in air defense conditions... I'm talking about elite units like the Airborne Forces. It's not hard to imagine what goes on in ordinary units...

        Without evidence, this is nonsense!

          And you, the one who's supposed to make the names, unit numbers, locations, and conditions publicly available. If you express your opinion and consider it valid, then please be kind enough to respect the opinions and positions of others... and vice versa...

    A shotgun might be effective against a small flock of birds, but against a larger flock, a cannon-like weapon from the time of Ivan the Terrible is needed. A single shot of canister shot back then would mow down almost the entire front line of attackers. It was a weapon of mass destruction.
    Can the dispersion angle and caliber of shotguns be significantly increased?

      Everything about shotguns has been figured out for a long time. All that's left is to learn how to shoot them. And no one makes monster 10-gauge or 4-gauge shotguns anymore.
      Right now, within drone range, you can't get anywhere near it with anything, or even bring any canister guns. And if you do bring it, believe me, it will be swarmed by as many drones as necessary to wipe it out.
      It would be relevant now to create smart, lightweight anti-drone scopes for snipers so they can automatically detect everything.

    Well, in my opinion, we should always foster interest in service. In the army, they teach you to shoot well, no matter what, isn't that interesting? And driving equipment?
    I once read in a book that in the Wehrmacht they taught everyone to drive to a tank.
    Personally, I had shooting practice about 5 times. And I didn’t receive training even once.

    Modern humans experience the harshest artificial selection firsthand. And the primary quality by which selection is based is the ability to recognize outright lies and manipulation. The obedient and foolish will remain captive to illusions until their elimination from the population becomes inevitable.

    Какие ружья. Дальность 20-30 метров. Какие танки. Их нет в зоне СВО. Слаженность. Надо средства связи. Что-то о них не слово. Это инновации, бог ты мой. Куда нас завели сусанины генералы.
